Edit: people make a big deal about dealership wash but you won't be able to tell in a couple weeks without breaking out the microscope.
Yeah, that's what I'm worried about I guess (the color). I will abuse the car myself sure...and I can't imagine a salesperson let anybody take a car out and do some drifting in a new car...

Good to know about the wash, I've just heard a lot about it and seen some pictures.

Driving home all you would have to do is jump off the highway a few different times so you could be alternating the rpm's for the break in. That would add to the adventure.

I guess I should add that if your plans are to thrash it there would be nothing wrong with buying the demo.
Like I said the warranty probably means nothing. The mini vacation does play into it but with Clints price I can get the cars for the same price including the mini vacation!
